Like many dog owners I dread this time of year.
There are few things more heartbreakingly frustrating than seeing a wonderful animal that I love in a state of distress and knowing there is only so much I can do to help relieve his pain.
This has been the case for me for the past few nights as my gentle and naturally nervous Romanian rescue dog Billy has been lying in his bed, vibrating with stress as a cacophony of bangs and booms explode outside our home. It is October 19 and we know we have weeks more of this to come.
